it was the fact that the test this time was run it was done so without meeting the initial test parameters...
And the political appointees at the plant overrode the engineers on the project because the lead on the project was one of the sons of an appointee (shades of the Challenger disaster).
One of the engineer's sons is a Slashdotter and has written frequently about how that went down. "Shocker" that it's not in the official Soviet record, but it's a far more believable story.
You're claiming credit for bombing civillians in Syria and Doctors without Borders hospitals in Afghanistan? That's awful - I don't use the/. foes list much, but that's a gimme.
Those people who realize they are extorted into funding an occupying, illegal government that uses the Constitution for toilet paper I can abide.
More self-publicity by the Whitehouse version of "Life with the Kardashians"
Perhaps you missed "making school lunches into vehicles to throw vegetables into the trash", "gee, maybe kids should read", "gee, maybe we should have government-run medicine and cover up political accidents", or "the solution to drug addiction isn't engaging people who are victims of childhood abuse, but rather the word 'no'."
The less-damaging ones actually seem to be the ones without any kind of lofty goals.
Not to diminish the importance of blocking memory formation (nice research), but most people do not care about those who suffer from PTSD.
We have a known cure for PTSD, combination MDMA psychotherapy, but it's currently illegal in most of the world because both the US FDA and DEA political hacks claim that no medical uses exist for the chemical (despite the DEA Court finding otherwise).
It's a clear case of government vs. science and the loser in the battle is the vulnerable population of patients with PTSD (and the rest of society by extension). Sadly, most of society supports those politicians over both science and the needs of the afflicted.
It's an education thing. People who know how English evolved know that 'he' can be both masculine or neuter, depending on context. It's been that way since before 'ye', 'thou', 'thy' and similar words went away.
People who are uneducated may assume that 'he' is only masculine and will choose to feel oppressed about it. I can't imagine how bad those people feel using romance languages where half of the nouns are masculine gendered.
It's somewhat awkward, but less so than losing the singular/plural distinction. Style guides are a useful reference, but feel free to ignore their inconsistencies and poor suggestions.
OS/2 got interrupt handling exactly right. I could format a floppy, play Wolfenstein in a window, and have a mod tracker playing in the background on a 486/25. BeOS got close but was never quite as good.
My Linux machine today can't copy to a USB hard drive without making the rest of the system unusable.
It seems like Linux could still learn some tricks from these old OS's.
Typosquatting has been a problem for twenty years and DV certs fo at least half that time. Why would this suddenly be Let's Encrypt's problem? $4.95 has never stopped phishing attacks before.
Any typosquatting solution is going to be entirely locale dependent - the only place to handle that is at the browser. Give Google and MoFo hell about never caring about this. For all I know the Khazak word for "hot pizza" looks like "citibank" but it's definitely not a job for Let's Encrypt to deny that pizza place a cert. If we insist they do, they will either fail to succeed or give up and go home. Cui bono?
One must remember that even at Concorde prices it was not profitable and had to be subsidized by two governments. To be fair, it wasn't allowed to operate as a free-market enterprise either, so our data is limited.
So basically all the money the government has collected as fines and penalties is distributed evenly to all taxpayers. That money was collected as compensation for crimes against society, and this way it gets distributed back to society.
Even your seventh-grade Social Studies teacher wouldn't buy that as having any chance of happening. An empiricist would say that you're being farmed for tax money to be distributed to political cronies for favor and power and that this recalibration is a response to simmering unrest which is building due to the abuse.
They have the right idea in Britain - there they climb the pole, throw an old tire around the red light camera, fill it full of diesel fuel, and light it up. At least some of their citizens realize that red light cameras haven't really ever been about safety, except on the overt marketing literature.
It's funny that Pewdiepie's viewership and HSBC's clientele have a large overlap. W Anyway, a company that gets millennials will take that slice of business away from them, so there's little problem here.
Having to manually lookup the site in your manager, copy the password and paste it in the form is too cumbersome.
Right, so most users without an intergrated password manager will just use an easy-to-guess password.
LastPass isn't perfect, but as a system it improves overall web security to a large extent by enabling people to use very-high-entropy passwords.
People who want to copy and paste from Keepass (I do for very high security sites) should keep on doing that. But, for Pete's sake, I hope you're not using the totally insecure X11 clipboard.
Libertarians believe that companies that oppress users will fail in the marketplace.
Can you show me a libertarian who believes that corporations should be able to show up with guns to enforce "intellectual property" like governments do?
Hint: libertarians believe in none of: corporations, intellectual property, or initiation of force. Nice strawman though.

Don't lapse on your $5,000 per year or you get to pay it retroactively if you want to install a security update to fix their bugs.

Yup. My main $1900 SSD array does about 300MBps (SATA 3 drives).
I'll absolutely spend $80 to put an Optane piece in to split for ZFS log and cache devices to pump up the performance 20% or so.
You're probably thinking of deuterium-tritium fusion.
H3 is a commonly-accepted way to abbreviate tritium in ASCII.
Musk is very adverse to AI's doing these functions. Maybe neural laces will give humans enough of an advantage that they stop wanting strong AI.

2014 called - it wants its Makerbot back. No, not really - even 2014 hates Makerbot by now.

"I'm boycotting Amazon because Pewdiepie pointed at something!"
Said two people ever.
Approximately 0.01c.
What's that in furlongs per fortnight, tho?
I was thinking 18 hrs per AU, personally.
It's a subsidy! This is no different than the subsidies that the government pays to oil companies.
OMG, are we going to war to prop up the Flash economy? Figures - Flash was almost dead and along comes the government to ruin our party.
I'm guessing way more than $100 is possible.
Read TFA before you spend much time on that project. Blame goes to the clickbait headline, but still.

LTE is fast enough for me.
Nobody complains about LTE speeds. Everybody complains about LTE data caps.
Motif is more like GTK. Maybe you meant CDE? I'd always figure out how to add GNU tools and fvwm to those systems!
